2725 Draw for the Starting Order of Final Round after a Qualifying Round - Singles, Pairs and Ice Dance
2726 As soon as possible after the determination and certification of results from the qualifying rounds, the officials selected by the chief referee will complete the draw for the final round. The starting order for the final round will be drawn in two subgroups:
A. The 1st and 2nd place finishers in each group in the initial round will be the last to skate in the final round and will draw from the first subgroup. If the skaters encompass a portion of a warm-up group, they will skate in the latter portion of said warm-up group.
B. The remaining qualifiers from the initial round will be the first to skate in the final round and will draw from the second subgroup.

Implementation date: July 1, 2016

Rationale: To reward the skaters placing 1st and 2nd in the qualifying rounds.

Financial impact: None
